Jets vs Titans Prediction
The current betting odds have the Jets listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Jets had a terrible season going 3-14 and they were tied for the worst record in the NFL. They have been a disaster for years and had one of the worst defenses in the NFL last season, but Aaron Glenn is entering his 2nd year coaching the team now and he is a defensive minded coach so the defense should look a lot better this year. Geno Smith will be the starting QB and he had a terrible season with the Raiders last year, but he will definitely have a chip on his shoulder this year and the offense does have some talented players for him to get the ball too. Meanwhile, the Titans also had a terrible season going 3-14 overall and were also tied for the worst record in the NFL. They have been a disaster for the last few years and now they have hired Robert Saleh as their new head coach, but they do have one of the worst rosters in the NFL, so it is going to take some time for Saleh to turn this ship around. They have a lot of young talent on offense, but with that is going to be a learning curve for these players. They also had one of the worst defenses in the league and still lack a lot of talent on that end. Cam Ward showed some flashes last season, but he is only in his 2nd year in the NFL now and it is his 1st season in this new system now. The Jets will be looking to make a statement in Glenn's 2nd year with the team and they have the more experienced roster to lean on. The best way to place a bet here is on the Jets to cover the spread in this game.
